LATAM FX: Price Signal Summary - USDMXN Is Trading Below Resistance 

Dec-09 14:23
  • USDMXN has pulled back from its recent highs. The trend condition is unchanged, the structure remains bullish. However, attention remains on the Nov 6 pullback and the follow through on Nov 7. This continues to highlight a possible short-term top and therefore a bearish threat. Price has traded through the 20-day EMA, exposing support at the 50-day EMA, at 20.0456. A clear breach of the 50-day EMA, would undermine the bullish theme and signal potential for a deeper retracement towards 19.7618 initially, the Nov 7 low. Resistance to watch is at 20.8313, the Nov 26 high. Clearance of this hurdle would confirm a resumption of the uptrend and cancel any bearish threat. This would open the 21.00 handle.                                                
  • The USDBRL bull cycle remains in play and the pair is trading just below its recent highs. The latest rally confirmed a resumption of the uptrend and a breach of resistance at 5.8750, the Nov 1 high. Sights are on 6.1460 and 6.1831, the 2.3820 and 2.50 projection points of the Aug 19 - 30 - Sep 19 price swing. Support levels to watch are; 5.9073, the 20-day EMA, and 5.7754, the 50-day EMA.           
  • A bull cycle in USDCLP remains in play and the latest pullback is considered corrective. Resistance at 966.61, the Aug 5 high and a key short-term hurdle for bulls, has recently been breached. This opens 990.67, the Feb 26 high, ahead of the psychological 1000.00 handle. The 20-day EMA has been pierced.The next support is 959.44, the 50-day EMA.
